    I once told one of the directors to not send a text whilst climbing the stairs. The look of "how dare you" mixed with "the little tulipe is right and I can't say anything" was a picture.

    Happened during my permie notice period so didn't really GAF.

      Thus ruling out any future, possibly, lucrative business.

      You are never going to get your big house at this rate and you will be, on here, moaning about it forever.

        Oh, and a nice 9am scrum I cannot be late for, with no other means of parking locally I may just need to take the train daily, as I am darned if I am paying £45 a week just to park on top of the hotel costs - would get me home every day at least.

          I've never seen anyone told off for using stairs incorrectly since I left school ("don't RUN!") is this for real?

                      actually in my situation it was an entitled (me) telling a director (boomer) not to send texts on the stairs.
